Paul & Joe Lipstick in 079 (Merry-Go-Round) and 080 (Manege) are both embossed with beautiful carousel ponies and placed in a golden tube with printed
lace and flowers on it. Both have corresponding cases to go with.

Merry-Go-Round is a warm and muted shade of coral. Absolutely gorgeous in person and such a beautiful alternative to nude lipstick! The only two that are similar that I have is Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick in 16, which is very similar but slightly more intense and L’oreal Color Riche in 371 (Pink Passion), which is slightly pinker.

Manege is a purplish
shade of fuchsia. Very pigmented and sooo pretty! I thought to myself how many
shades of fuchsia can one have in their makeup stash and the answer is: never
enough! Love it! Similar shades: Rimmel Kate Moss in 20 (pinker and matte),
Estee Lauder in Violet Crush (slightly purpler and matte) and L’Oreal Color
Riche in 402 Electric Fuchsia (very similar but slightly softer).

Both of them lasted for about 3 - 4 hours (customer service
environment so a lot of talking!) so just in time to have excuse to reapply it
on your lunch or coffee break! Honestly, they are so creamy and so soft I just
want reapply them again and again! Both have beautiful shiny, semi opaque but
extremely buildable finish.
